I agree that the order you proposed is easier to understand on the first sight. From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz> brk randomization: compute RLIMIT_DATA properly In cases of heap area placed at randomly-generated offset from mm->end_data (arch_randomize_brk()), we need to subtract the value of the offset for setrlimit(RLIMIT_DATA) to work properly -- otherwise we count the unoccupied memory between mm->end_data and mm->start_brk as occupied.
